Multi–layer graphene folds supported on a substrate: a variational model

A mathematical model is developed to study the folding behaviour of multi–layer graphene sheets supported on a substrate. The conformation of the fold is determined from variational considerations based on two energies, namely the graphene elastic energy and the van der Waals (vdW) interaction energ...
